Mango fest to commence later this month in southern Vietnam

Provincial authorities on Wednesday held a press conference to announce the event, whose highlight will be a display of digital transformation applications which help remove many of the obstacles faced by local farmers.

Eighteen activities are slated to take place before, during, and after the festival. 

These include a story-writing contest, a children’s drawing competition, a photography contest, an exhibition showcasing mango products and local specialties from Dong Thap, and familiarization trips to mango farming areas.

The festival will also include two seminars featuring discussions on measures to enhance the value, and promote the sustainable growth, of the province’s mango farming and tourism sectors.

Some reporters at the press briefing fielded questions on whether the festivals in Dong Thap have lived up to authorities’ expectations or if they just overwhelm local residents.

In response, Nguyen Phuoc Thien, vice-chairman of the provincial People’s Committee, asserted that the mango festival is among the measures to promote post-pandemic trade and increase the consumption of Dong Thap mangoes.

The festival is scheduled to coincide with the mango harvest season when low prices help promote their sales, the official said.

“We organize familiarization trips to take business representatives, investors, and visitors to mango farming regions and mango processing plants that have secured approval to export their products,” he added.

“In addition, digital transformation applications and a virtual reality exhibition will help visitors explore virtual mango farms at the festival.”

Mango is among the six agricultural staples produced in Dong Thap, with its total farming area exceeding 14,000 hectares.

About 250 farming regions in the province got licenses to ship the fruit to China.

Vietnamese man with facial disfigurement keeps on smiling, feeding birds

The 44-year-old, who lives with his elderly father and stepmother in an alley in Vinh Long City, the province’s capital, has a speech impairment in addition to his facial disfigurement and many health issues, which has led people to give him the nickname ‘Ba Lep.’ Because of his facial deformity and speech impairment, Hien often finds that many people do not want to talk to him, especially young children who are put off by his appearance. “Only birds feel comfortable in my presence,” Hien said with some effort. According to the owner of a food stall nearby, rain or shine, the man feeds sparrows with uncooked rice while sitting outside. He also ventured out with a mask on during the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreaks that began in late February to make sure the flocks had a full stomach as shops and restaurants shut down, and no public gatherings meant no leftovers for them to scavenge on.  For such a gentle, loving man, life is a constant fight against what he sees...
